Photography/videotaping may not be conducted in the locker rooms and restrooms.

If a guest with one of these groups is suspected of inappropriately using their photo privileges, they will be asked to put away their camera or leave the facility.

Selfies may not be taken in ways that have the potential to negatively impact the experiences of other patrons, such as within a busy locker room or restroom where others may be in the background. Patrons are expected to follow the Principles of Community and engage the use of selfies with respect for others.

Photography of other guests without their explicit permission is strictly prohibited. Guests taking photos or videos with their cell phone for personal use must not interrupt or cause any nuisance to others.

LIGHTNING, BAD WEATHER & FIELD CLOSURES

Severe Lightning/Thunderstorm Procedures (Thor Guard)

The Thor Guard lightning prediction and warning system will sound an alarm signaling a red alert period: one - 15 second long blast from the horn and a strobe light on the assembly begins intermittently flashing. If the conditions appear unsafe and a red alert alarm has not sounded, common sense should be your guide and activities should still cease despite the absence of a Thor Guard warning.

All outdoor activities cease during red alert periods and appropriate shelter sought. Campus Recreation staff will advise participants to clear fields and playing areas. Participants may be evacuated to the IM Shed, Student Recreation Center, Moby, Academic Village, or personal vehicles. It is the participants’ responsibility to confirm whether or not programming will be resumed or cancelled with Campus Recreation Staff prior to leaving during weather delays.

When the Thor Guard sensor detects that the danger has passed (a minimum of 10 minutes after the original alarm) it sends the all-clear signal; three separate - 5 second blasts from the horn, and the strobe light will stop flashing. After the all-clear signal is sounded, outdoor activities may resume.

FIELD CLOSURE AND NOTIFICATION

When fields are determined to be unplayable (i.e., standing water, saturation, snow, pouring rain, lack of visibility, freezing temperatures), activity may be suspended and/or cancelled to avoid further damage to the field or risk of injury to individuals.

Game time listed on the schedule is forfeit time, and teams must be checked in and ready to play at their scheduled game time.
